I just heard about this case early this morning and I am not sure how accurate and true it is but it seems to have been featured on many major newspaper’s websites hence it must be a true story. Listening to the story at 1:30 am did send a chill up my spine, mainly because of the ages of the victims and the murderer.

An 8-year-old boy from the Indian state of Bihar, Amarjeet Sada, is claimed to be the “youngest serial killer in the world.” You read that right. He was born in 1998 in the village of Mushahar in Bihar. He has murdered three people, including from his own family. Sada committed the first murder at the age of 7. In 2006, Sada allegedly murdered his six-year-old cousin, the daughter of his uncle. It is thought he also killed his own baby sister who was only eight months old. His last victim was even younger – a six-month old baby girl called Kushboo who lived in the neighbourhood, the report says.

It has been stated that when in police custody, Sada smiled a lot and showed no remorse after admitting he murdered his sister a few months earlier and his cousin the year before, swinging his legs as he sat and told his story an even demanded biscuits from the police. At the time of his capture, one psychologist called him a “sadist who derives pleasure from inflicting injuries”. He is understood to have been released in 2016 and his current whereabouts are unknown – possibly having changed his name and assumed a new identity.
